    Showing off my Gandy Big G LTD

    Glen contacted me a while back and offered to redo the rails. He had some really grest ideas and he was back in Washington at the time. I was absolutely looking forward to meeting him but unfortunately with everything I had going on at the time I couldn't meet. I didn't pay much for the table...

    Showing off my Gandy Big G LTD

    A flush mounted box would have been a better design on Gandy's part but i wanted a ball return and figured I'd just have to get used to it. But much to my surprise, I've never been fouled up on it. Must be the design of the Limited model and the angled, under cut of the skirts.

    Good question. I'm not sure on the pocket size. They have always bugged me. I tried closing them a bit when I recovered it but I'm still not satisfied. The angles are really awkward too. Especially the corners.

    Gandy Big G Ball return questions

    First off; It's been a while! I have been working, moving, responsibilities, blah blah... I have yet build my Irish Pub game room and the table is still temporarily in an insulated workshop. At least I have plenty of space to play! Last work I did on it was to replace the cushions, put some...

    Can't wait to see it! Do you know if it has the original wire style ball returns?

    New cushions and cloth. Made new support posts for the ball shelf and aluminum trim. Added a Gandy Big G ball return box and will put in a ball return system soon. Table plays MUCH better.

    Trouble with recovering rails...

    Well... got her recovered with some new cushions and Gorina Basalt cloth. Table looks and plays WAY better but I think after I move I will do it again with Simonis 860HR and Artemis cushions. After I get these DVDs of course! Thanks for the tips! :thumbup:

    Trouble with recovering rails...

    I've been meaning to order them. Budget forced me to hold off this time. Big fan of Glen's work though.

    Trouble with recovering rails...

    I enjoy working on pool tables a bit and I want to learn how to do all these things myself. I recently bought some new cloth and cushions and have been redoing my 9' table. I'm pretty good at the bed cloth now so I started with the rails. Most people seem to struggle with the rails. I've heard...

    Gandy Big G Ball return questions

    I was going to post this in the 'Ask a mechanic' section but I feel I should also ask my questions to tabIe owners. I have a 9' Gandy Big G Limited that once had a ball return on it. I bought a ball return box from Ken Hash at Classic Billiards but I waited on the return gullies for now as I'm...

    WTB Glow in the Dark set

    I am looking for a used, good condition Glow in the Dark set of pool balls. Preferably Aramith. I am on a budget so I can't afford the price of a new set. If you have a set that you just don't really use and don't mind selling, I would be interested. I think it would be fun for the kids... ok...

    Black Diamond cushions?

    I don't have a preference in what color they are; I am looking for a good set of 100% gum rubber, high rebound cushions. I heard Artemis plays very fast and lasts quite a while. But I also can't afford Artemis right now. Kids come first and daughters are expensive! :wink: So if I can find a good...

    Gandy Big G parts?

    Finally replaced these things!!! For those Gandy people out there who are also missing these, I'll share what I did. Best part is, it cost me less than $10! I bought some 1/2" x 36" aluminum tubing from Lowe's. Three 1/4" x 7" carriage bolts, washers, and hex nuts. Most large hardware stores...

    Black Diamond cushions?

    You know, when I bought this table, it was mentioned that the wrong profile cushions may be installed. They seem to sit at an odd angle. But they are also coming apart and are rock hard so they need to be replaced. So I should use K66 profile on my Gandy? Will this work without any...

    Black Diamond cushions?

    So these are only K55 profile? From what I know, K66 plays faster. Is this correct? Without dropping the hard cash for Artemis, can anyone recommend another top quality K66 cushion?

    Black Diamond cushions?

    You know, I've heard a lot of people make the same claim. I'm interested in trying it out.
